Students investigate why some potato chips crumple faster than others. In this physics lessons, students relate the cooking time to potato's fragility. They write a lab report about their findings.

Students develop an informal understanding of standard deviation by having students find the mean and standard deviation of their hometown and comparing them to a town with a similar mean but a different standard deviation.

Students write equations for different functions. In this algebra lesson, students observe data and find the function that goes along with that data. The identify the line of best fit.

Studens identify the properties of exponents. In this algebra lesson, pupils grapha nd solve equaitons of exponential functions. They add, subtract, multiply and divide using exponents.

Young scholars use properties of exponents to solve equations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide exponential functions. They graph and differentiate between exponential growth and decay.

Students examine population growth and collect data. In this statistics lesson, students create a scatter plot to represent the different species found in the water and are being harvested. They graph their data and draw conclusion from it.

Students investigate motion using a CBL. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They define and identify amplitude and period of conic graphs.
